People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the reffna or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued. but such
Is not the case, as the retina hardly. ever
gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attached to the eye
ball and the muscle of accommodation,
which surrounds the lens of the eye.
When neario object is to- be looked at

to thiclaen, Increasing its rcfractive
power. The inner and outer muscle are
used, in covering the eye on the object
to be looked at. the inner one being es-
pecia1ly used when near object is looked
at. It is in the three muscles mentioned
that the fatigue is felt, and relief is se-
cured temporarily by closing tho eyes
or gazing at far distant objects. The
usual indication of strain Is a redness of
the rim of the eyelid, betolcnfng a con-
gested state of the inner surface. accom-
panied with some pain. Sometimes tl,is
weariness indicates the need of glasses
rightly adapted to the person. and in
other cases the true remedy is to lrassage

somehow these men find out the nests OF.
this gay bird, and having located him
they dig down in the bank at such a dis

ants from one of the races that have
furnished the hest horsemen of the world

herited strong lore of the horse. The
rank of the men Mt arms shows this, as
those who fought on foot occupied a
much lower position than those who
fought mounted. Up to comparative
iy recent period there were no means of
importing better blood TO improve the
breeds of horses bnt they made the most
of their Tartar blood. AS animals for
spised. They have carried to victory
some of the most formidable and efYec-
tive cavalry of the world
1t was on these horses that the soldiers
of Timour and the .hordes Of Ghengis
Khan rode to conquest. On these horses
the sons and grandsons of Kublai Khan
swept over western Asia, conquered the
dominions of the caliph, all of Russia
and the best parts of Hungary and
Poland. In the Seventeenth century the
king of Spain sent some of the best
Andalusian horses to- Japan, and the
Portuguese also presented the rulers of
that country with well bred horses. In
later years the Emperor Napoleon pre-
sented the tycoon with several fine Arab
horses, 80 that their Tartar breed, of
l:orses has been materially improved.
Most of the horses of that country are
